Winged Skull “Memento Mori” Necklace
 
This striking neckace is inspired by early New England gravestone art, where winged skulls symbolized the fleeting nature of life and the soul’s journey beyond death. The bold design features a detailed skull flanked by outstretched wings, echoing the imagery of 17th–18th century funerary carvings.
 
Made by hand in sterling silver the necklace carries both historical weight and gothic elegance. It’s a powerful piece of wearable symbolism—reminding us of mortality while celebrating resilience, transformation, and the beauty of the macabre.
